"That's what you really think?" Mu Jiaojiao was a little surprised.

Cui Pu fixed his head. "That's right, I don't care about those things outside, and I'll recuperate at home. What saints, what world, what do those have to do with me?"

"You have the ability to look me in the eye and say it again. Mu Jiaojiao said in a deep voice.

Cui Pu raised his head and laughed stupidly.

"Well, I'll admit, I'm talking big again. "Actually, I'm just thinking that I'm getting old." Over the years, I have paid enough for the court and the people. Ask yourself, I owe nothing to this world. In this life, the only thing I owe is you is you. When I was struck by the arrow, the first thought that came to my mind was that I was going to leave you like this? I still owe you a lot of money and a lot of love that I haven't repaid! Then I thought that I had to hold on, and I couldn't let the soldiers defending the city be disturbed. And these days, I am bored and think a lot, and I made this decision after careful consideration. ”

"Your decision is to ignore nothing and be self-willed?" asked Mu Jiaojiao.

"Yes, I also have capricious capital now, don't I?" Cui Pu smiled, "For the sake of this New Tang Dynasty, I have even taken my own life, and I no longer owe them anyone." Now I'm alive because of you. You brought me a good father-in-law, you gave me a good daughter, and then you also contributed your flesh and blood...... My life is yours now. And before that, I owe you so much, and now with this life, I will not be able to pay it back for the rest of my life. Therefore, in the next few days, I only want and only need to repay your love alone. I don't want to care about the others, and I don't have to care anymore. ”

Hearing him speak so affectionately, the corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips twitched: "You really think so?"

"Of course! Every word is from the bottom of my heart!" Cui Pu nodded hurriedly. It's just that, under Mu Jiaojiao's beautiful gaze, he still slowly lowered his head again, "Okay, okay, can't I tell the truth?" In addition to this high-sounding reason, there is another equally important reason, which is also the key to making such a choice-I'm tired. For so many years, running around, intriguing with people, racking my brains for the well-being of the people, I am really tired. After lying in bed for so long this time, I always felt that I couldn't get enough rest. So I thought, I'd better let myself go! I've worked so hard in the first half of my life, and I'm just lazy in the second half of my life, and it's nothing, don't you say?"

"Definitely. You're too tired, and I'm too tired. Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Moreover, this time the siege of Chang'an is really grinding. In just half a month, it seems to have exhausted half of their life's energy. Not to mention that he was much older, even silver threads had emerged from her black hair.

It's time for them to get some rest.

Seeing her nodding, Cui Pu was overjoyed and hurriedly hugged her again. "I knew that you must understand me, lady!"

Then he let go of his hand and slumped back into bed. "So, I'll continue to pretend to be sick! I won't go to that bullshit palace, Lao Tzu is the hero of Chang'an City, so I won't go to some bullshit saint to grovel and see him fake thanks. ”

Mu Jiaojiao pulled the quilt and covered him. "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. ”

However, a saint is a saint after all, and he is a person who is used to being high, and he can't stand being ignored for his existence all the time. After ordering his henchman to personally come to the Hanyang County Palace's palace to summon six times to no avail, he once again asked people to come to the county palace. This time, he was also accompanied by Peng Zhang, the most trusted judge of the Tai Hospital of today's saints.

"I didn't expect you to actually keep it. After taking Cui Pu's pulse, Peng Zhang blurted out this sentence when he faced Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him lightly. "You're surprised?"

"I was surprised. I thought you would run away with him as soon as possible. Peng Zhang said in a low voice.

This is a piece of history that they learned together from their grandfather. I still remember that when I read this, my grandfather sighed for a long time, and they also sighed privately about the fall of Chang'an City. He even raised his fist and said: "Those people are so incompetent! If it were me, I would definitely do my best to organize all the people who could organize to defend Chang'an and resist aggression!"

As a result, when the person who said this sensed that the danger was coming, he hurriedly followed the saint away from Shaanzhou under the banner of 'protecting the saint', and did not return by swaggering back until he heard that the siege of Chang'an had been lifted.

And the little girl who was sitting next to him, looking at him with a pair of eyes wide open and a look of adoration, clapping her little hands and shouting, 'Senior brother is so good, senior brother is the best!', but she and her husband stuck to Chang'an, and fought against 30,000 horses and horses in Tibet with a mere 1,000 troops, and carried it for fifteen days.

When he learned about Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu's actions when he was outside, his first reaction was to sneer.

"Are the two of them crazy? This is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and they can do it?

However, as the news came one after another, he was shocked when he knew that the Tubo had attacked the city several times without success, that their husband and wife had joined hands to share the hardships with the people of Chang'an, and that they had finally survived the arrival of reinforcements, and once again guarded the bright pearl of the New Tang Dynasty and did not let the iron hooves of foreigners trample it.

"And they did. When he looked at the ecstatic saint and the officials who fled with him to Xiazhou, his heart sank heavily.

He actually lost to her again, and he also lost to the Cui family's gentleman!

"You came here today to see the excitement, right?" Mu Jiaojiao suddenly asked.

The corners of Peng Zhang's lips tugged slightly. "Yes. ”

"I'm sorry, we've let you down again. ”

"yes, I'm so disappointed!" Peng Zhang shook his head and sighed. "I thought he was dead. ”

But when he rushed back to Chang'an, and listened to the eunuch's repeated reports about Cui Pu, he found that he was actually getting better a little bit. Then, he found out that Cui Pu was really alive. Although the pulse is still a little weak, there is no need to worry about his life.

"Senior sister, your medical skills have been greatly accomplished, and I am far inferior to you. He said with a sour feeling in his heart.

I think that at the beginning, he was praised by his grandfather for his talent and was a genius in learning Chinese medicine. But she has mediocre qualifications, only because she was born in a family of famous doctors and has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she knows more than others. But what she could learn in a day, she had to take at least ten days. But in this way, in her previous life, she surpassed herself, and she also conquered countless leaders with her magic skills, and let the leaders unconditionally help her crusade against herself now!

At this point, he has desperately begun to consolidate his foundation and improve his skills, but why is he still thrown away by her? Just like Cui Pu's injury, he will definitely be powerless to change himself. And she was cured.

"Grandpa, didn't he really leave you any cheats in the first place?" to this day, he still couldn't help but ask this sentence.

Mu Jiaojiao was furious in an instant.

"Get out of here!"

Peng Zhang's face sank: "I'm just asking casually, what does it matter if you like to answer or not? As for being so annoyed and angry? Or is what I said true?"

"You ask yourself, after you arrived here, you will have a free consultation once a month, do you really want to improve your medical skills? You just want to improve your reputation through the mouth of the people! You have a bad heart, and you have never sunk down to study medical skills. For you, the way of medicine is just a way for you to climb to glory and wealth. In this case, no matter how good the medical skills are taught to you, you will not be able to learn the essence. That's all you can do in this life! With your mentality, you'll never be able to compare to me in this life!" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

Peng Zhang was said to be exempt from blame, and got up. "What if my medical skills are not as good as yours? In addition to you, my medical skills are also among the best in the New Tang Dynasty, and there are few people in the Tai Hospital who can compare with me. Not only that, but the saint believes in me. I accompanied him through the Anshi Rebellion before, and now I will never leave him when he is adrift in Shaanzhou. The saint has promised me that he will take me to the next level. With this skill, I have reached the pinnacle that no other healer can ever reach. I have power, money, and background, and no one will dare to underestimate me in the future. And what about you? You are still just a deep woman, who has been busy for her husband and children all her life, and all the credit has been taken away by the surname Cui, and you will leave a false name at most! In this regard, you will never be as good as me!"

"I'm not as good as you, and I didn't want to compare with you. Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

Peng Zhang was stunned.

I heard Mu Jiaojiao say again: "In my life, I never thought about chasing fame and fortune. From the beginning to the present, all I have pursued is a warm home, a loving and caring husband, and a group of well-behaved and obedient children, and that's it. Now I've got it and I'm satisfied. ”

Peng Zhang was stunned.

He seemed to see a young and beautiful girl in front of him. She looked at him with a smile, and her sweet voice described to him her yearning for the future: "In the future, I must marry a husband who loves me." He works outside and I cook and do laundry at home. Then we have two more children, and the family of four will be happy, so it's the best!"

How did he react at the time?

Oh, he scoffed at her words. "You're too unpursued!" he said.

"I just didn't pursue it! I really think that's good, it's good. The girl still smiled sweetly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her mediocre dream.

I used to despise such a dream, but why do I feel so yearning for it when I think about it now?

"Senior sister...... ......" he whispered, and couldn't help but reach out to her.

Mu Jiaojiao immediately stepped aside, making him pounce. Immediately, I saw Xiao Si'er coming over: "Lady, Lang Jun is awake and looking for you everywhere!"

"I see. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and immediately turned around, but he didn't even look at him again, "You help me send Imperial Doctor Peng." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Si'er hurriedly stepped forward and said to Peng Zhang respectfully, "Imperial Doctor Peng, please come here!"

Peng Zhang didn't want to move for a long time.

Until, he heard the whispered voices of men and women over there—

"Lady, my chest hurts. ”

"It doesn't hurt to endure it. ”

"But I'm uncomfortable, can you help me rub it?"

"Okay!"

"I'm still hungry, and I want to eat the flax rice you made. ”

"I'll do it for you in a moment. ”

"Well, you're the best, lady!"

......

He couldn't listen to it anymore!

Peng Zhang immediately turned his head and strode away with a gloomy face.
